Wavre, the charming capital of Walloon Brabant, offers a delightful blend of historical charm and modern thrills. Nestled in the Dyle valley, this Belgian city is perhaps most famous for being home to Walibi Belgium, the country’s largest amusement park, and its aquatic counterpart, Aqualibi, guaranteeing fun for all ages.
Beyond the rollercoasters, Wavre boasts a rich history evident in its Gothic-style Church of St. John the Baptist and the elegant City Hall, housed in a former Carmelite church. Don’t miss the local legend of the “Maca” statue on the City Hall, said to bring luck if you touch its posterior! Explore the historic center, enjoy picturesque walks along the river, or delve into the region’s past. Wavre promises an engaging and entertaining escape in the heart of Belgium.
